Gardening and Stuff

The girls and daddy LOVE to tend to the vegetable garden. Here's Layne nurturing a tomato plant.

Hayden just likes to build dirt piles, not a lot of tending to or nurturing the plants!

I hate that Layne's face is so blurry here. Roxy is allowed to sit on one of the couches. She's normally up there with one of her two best buds....daddy or Layner!

This was taken yesterday after Roxy came in the house from being outside snacking on cat poop and THREW UP under the coffee table! It was so nasty. Thankfully, daddy cleaned it up. Layne was very concerned about Roxy so she hung out on the porch with her until she felt well enough to come back inside.

Layner finding her Easter basket on Sunday afternoon. We had a long morning at Discover Point (three services) so we did a brunch-it was really a 1:00 lunch where we ate breakfast foods-and then the girls found their Easter baskets....after we hid them!

Hayden's was hanging up in their shower!!

Here are the Easter cupcakes that I made for the Ross family Easter dinner that we had later that day.

The girls intently watching their movie on the drive home from Florida (I know...this is an old one!)

Graceful sleepy head number one!

Not so graceful sleepy head number 2.

Apricot tongue!

My poor baby with her first sunburn in Florida. It doesn't look too bad, but her skin is so fair. She complained about it for 2 days.

Aunt September slept over at Pappy's house the last night that we were in Florida. We were in the family room talking when all of a sudden...down pour! Layne and Aunt September went running around in the rain. Crazy kids!

Baby Bump Week 25

Morning Market,Snoballs, and Easter Dresses

Ok, now I am home with internet access....so I can add words to the Florida pictures!

On Tuesday we went to Gulf Port (where Sep and Morgan live). They have a little market on Tuesday mornings. There are shops on both sides of the streets and vendors set up tents selling their goods. It was so cute. Layner and her best bud Morgan!

One of the tents was a florist. Layne found an orchid blossom on the ground. What a cutie!

Of course, we spent lots of time at Snoballs! The girls tasted lots of flavors!!

We also went Easter dress shopping on Tuesday with Pappy and Melody. These are their Easter dresses. They each also got a spring dress and a pair of sandals!! It was a great shopping trip.

Easter Treats and Treasures!

On Monday we went over to Pappy and Melody's condo for some Easter fun! The girls started by making rice krispy treat baskets and eggs with them. They had lots of fun doing that!

Then they stuffed the plastic eggs with candy for their egg hunt. Next it was a great meal together!

Then it was off to the park that's right across the street. Pappy went out early to spread all of the eggs around....a little more than 60 eggs!!

The girls had a blast running around gathering all of the eggs.

They each picked up around 30 eggs!




Tampa Bay is right behind them. It was the perfect place for an evening egg hunt!!

Ready for a Swim....

Pretty much as soon as we arrived the girls were ready for a swim. I was able to put them off until the morning. Even though the pool was cold the three of us jumped right in!!

We sure are going to miss that pool when Pappy rents his house next month.

Packing

Yesterday the girls really wanted to pack their own bags for Florida. I made them each a picture checklist to help them know what to pack. It went well until Layne became more interested in checking boxes instead of actually packing the stuff!

Strawberry Picking

We stopped at Lane Orchard to pick our own strawberries on the way down to Florida. It's such a great tradition to our drive there or back. Normally it's in the summer so we get peaches, which are amazing! But since it was spring it was time to pick strawberries!!



Then the girls played on the playground, Mazie walked around and visited with all the kids, and daddy went in and got us ice cream.....peach, strawberry, and butter pecan!!

Pregnant and I Know It!

My sister in law, Mwende, sent this to me on facebook. I just LOVE it! Hope you enjoy. 

Hayden's Egg Hunt

Oh the drama! Not sure what it is with my girls and finding eggs at school, but the two just don't mesh for some reason! This one even involved tears! Hayden just didn't want to find egg by herself. I had Ella in a stroller so I couldn't do it and Layne didn't want any part of it. What a mess. It ended well as you can tell!

Then it was time for their picnic lunch. They have been looking forward to this all week.....who knew that a lunchable could make their day!

Then it was time to play! Layner just fit right in.


Hartlee brought in cupcakes for her birthday so everyone had a nice treat to finish the day. Now it's time for Spring Break!!!

Week 24 Baby Bump

Ella and the Girls

Ella loves these little puppets. She loves to play in Gwynn's room. She just crawls around, plays, and laughs!

She's getting to be such a big girl!!

Aren't these the cutest things?! Little animal chairs! Saw them at BJ's the other day.

Corn on the cob is one of the girls spring/summer food favs!

They even use those little corn cob holder things.

Keeping Ella occupied while at the grocery store. I give her some shopper cards and she slips them in and out of a pocket in my purse. Keeps her happy :)

Catch Up

Today Layne had an Easter Egg hunt at her school. She was beyond excited about it. I took some video that will be up in a little bit. It kind of seemed like she didn't know what to to do....but I know that she does. She got three eggs! What a little cutie!

Layne with her class!

Last night after life groups we took the girls to the park. They had a blast!

Our little fearless monkey!

Hanging with Faith and Brian

Yesterday Jeremy and I had a big staff meeting up at Discover Point. Faith and Brian said that they'd hang out with the girlies all afternoon. They went to a park for a little picnic, played at their house, went to a yard sale in the neighborhood, and went to the neighborhood park!! They had a blast!!! It's so great to be park of a church family that loves our girls as much as we do! Thanks Faith and Brian.
